The Pahala Public and School Library will close temporarily from Monday through Feb. 23 due to a staffing shortage. The book drop was closed beginning Friday.

The library and book drop are scheduled to reopen on Friday, Feb. 24, said a spokesman for the Hawaii State Public Library System.

While the library is closed, patrons may visit the Naalehu Public Library at 95-5669 Mamalahoa Highway.

Call the Naalehu library at 939-2442 for its current public service hours and to arrange for the pickup of items requested from the Pahala facility.

Patrons also may log on to the HSPLS website, www.librarieshawaii.org, to browse the HSPLS Catalog for book titles, eBooks, digital audio books and a wide variety of online databases which provide access to full-text materials from thousands of magazines, newspapers, journals, and other publications.
